The Derivation of estimated dust exposures for U.S. coal miners working before 1970 / M.D. Attfield and K. Morring

Sumario: This report describes the derivation of cumulative exposure estimates for a large group of coal miners by using environmental data collected at many of the mines at which they worked. These cumulative exposures estimates have been shown to correlate with respiratory health outcomes, as assessed by radiography and by spirometry
